Quartex was born in the summer of 1988, and was an amazingly arrogant cracking group in the early days... :) For some demos often listed as QTX releases (i.e. "Substance"...), see the entry for their previous subgroup Alliance Design, who later left to be on their own. 1991 - Skywalker joined Skid Row around the mid of the year. Late in 1991, Furax joined Paradise and opened 'FANTASIA', Spirit left the scene and Black Ninja (sysop of 'PARADISE') joined Skid Row. The French section split up late 91, after experiencing some problems with the APP (french software police). Tagada and Clash (91) were both busted by the French police, and Olivier closed his board 'OLIVIER'S PLACE' late91. 1993 - While it was claimed in a news item in Spaceballs' "R.A.W. #5" [05/93] that Virus joined Legend, the truth is that he joined FROM Legend! In late 1993, the swedes in Agile (Elric, Conqueror etc) merged into Quartex. This was also around the same time the English sysops Undertaker and Sabbath ('GRAVEYARD') joined from Fusion (both had also previously been in Agile). English sysops Undertaker and Sabbath ('GRAVEYARD', both ex Fusion) both left. The Undertaker went to the pc scene, while Sabbath discontinued his scene life. Some confusion exists in that some people think that the two joined Alpha Flight - but that is a different Sabbath. Gizam (eng? ex Crystal), Slayer, Megadrive (eng sysop 'LIVING HELL') and Scrote (eng sysop 'THE KRYPT') left. Dutch sysop BamBam ('DOWNTOWN', ex Classic) joined Agile. UK members N.O.M.A.D (crack), Action Man (supply), Zelnik and Infiltrator (all ex Crystal, new 91) took important members like The Surge (crack, 91) and TIC (crack, both ex Paradox, 09/91) with them and formed Nemesis. English sysop Image ('IMAGEWORKS', ex Eclipse) joined M.A.D, but was busted the following morning. The then retired from the scene for a while, before returning as The Undertaker/Agile - and was later back in Quartex. Sysop Scout ('METROPOLIS', old handle Face The Facts, 91) joined Skid Row. Danes Paleface and Seen left to form legendary demogroup Melon Dezign. Wat Een Gore Kop (1994, 28.12, 40k Intro). 18th in The Party 4 40k intro competition.

Released at the 16-bit Show in London, England. · Go For The Record (1993, 18.03, ECS Multifile Musicdisk). code: Bjørn, gfx: Shiva, Bjørn, Zytac, music: Zytac, Matrix. review: A pretty basic musicdisk, obviously inspired by Phenomena's "Music Dream" disks - and just as obviously inferior. It's not EXCITING, if you know what I mean. No soul. The loading picture is the best thing about it. The module-playing part appears strange on my machine. It jerks around a lot, making the music sound strange. Still, it WORKS, as such... · GLE tested A1200/030-50/2mb chip, 4mb fast/3.0. Quasar [old] ------------ I do not believe the new Quasar has anything to do with the old one; it's probably just a coincidence. Bip joined Desire (RAW3).
